Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention is designed to create a state in which when a game ball wins a prize in a specific prize opening, the shape of the winning part changes and the ball easily enters the winning opening. The present invention relates to a winning device for a pachinko machine that can be converted into a state in which winning is difficult.

<Prior art> In a conventional pachinko machine, when a game ball enters a specific winning hole, the winning device changes the shape of the winning part to allow a large number of game balls to win. There is a publication number 24381. This idea is to provide a door plate that can be opened and closed freely and that is pivoted from below to the opening of the game board.The door plate is tilted forward by a solenoid to open the opening, and the door plate allows game balls to be taken into the machine. This is what I did.

Furthermore, there are many winning devices in which a pair of rotating blades are opened and closed by driving a solenoid.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> In the conventional winning device described above, when a game ball wins a prize in a specific winning hole, the shape of the winning part changes to be advantageous to the player. If you win in a specific winning slot, you can earn a lot of profit. However, since the door plate is usually closed, the game balls simply flow down the front side of the door plate, and there is little variation, which reduces the interest of the pachinko game by half. Furthermore, since the door plate has to be flat due to its structure, the game board surface becomes simple and lacks interest.

On the other hand, conventional winning machines that have a pair of rotating blades generally have a solenoid for each rotating blade as a driving source, so they end up having two solenoids, and these solenoids are connected to the game board. It is provided. Therefore, the conventional winning device is complicated to assemble, takes up a lot of space, and becomes an obstacle for other parts such as a ball gutter.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was proposed in view of death, and includes a mounting plate having a pair of left and right general winning holes and a continuous winning hole located between the general winning holes, and a continuous winning hole at one end. A pair of blades are swingably pivoted to the front side of the mounting plate so that the other end can face the normal winning hole, and a pair of blades is located behind the continuous winning hole. A solenoid mounting plate is provided with a solenoid as a driving source and forms a continuous winning ball path communicating with the continuous winning hole, and a rotation mechanism that links the solenoid attached to the solenoid mounting plate and the blade, By rotating the blades by driving a solenoid, the ball flowing down on the mounting plate can be changed into a state in which it is easy to win a prize into each winning hole and a state in which it is difficult to win a prize.

<Function> By rotating the blade rotatably supported on the mounting plate by a solenoid, it is possible to create a state in which it is easy for the ball to win a prize and a state in which it is difficult to win a prize.The solenoid mounting plate in which the solenoid is integrally provided , a continuous winning ball passage is formed behind the continuous winning opening.

You can win.

The rotating mechanism for the blades 3 as described above is centered on the solenoid 4 as a drive source provided on the back surface of the mounting plate 2. The solenoid 4 is attached to the back side of the mounting plate 2 with screws 14 etc. via the solenoid mounting plate 13 facing the rear of the continuous winning opening 5. solenoid 4
has a plunger 15 that slides when excited; one end of the plunger 15 projects upward to form an upper plunger portion 16, and one end projects downward to form a lower plunger portion 17. A spring 18 is wound around the upper plunger portion 16. This spring 18 biases the plunger 15 to pull it upward. In addition, the lower plunger part 1
At the tip of the plunger 7, a flat plate-shaped plunger tip 19 is formed that spreads in the horizontal direction.

On the other hand, the shaft of the blade 3 is made to protrude to the back side of the mounting plate 2 through a blade shaft boss 20 provided on the mounting plate 2, and is connected to the crank 21. The cranks 21, 21 from the left and right blades 3 are connected by an interlocking plate 22,
The interlocking plate 22 and the plunger tip 19 are connected by a crank pin 23 to form a rotation mechanism such that the blade 3 pivotally supported on the front surface of the mounting plate 2 rotates as the plunger 15 slides. do.

On the back side of the mounting plate 2, each of the winning holes 5, 7,
Winning ball passages communicating with the balls 8 and 8 are respectively formed.

That is, the continuous winning ball passage 24 formed behind the mounting plate 2 by the solenoid mounting plate 13 is communicated with the continuous winning hole 5, and the tip of the passage 24 is used as the continuous winning ball outlet 24'. A ball detector 25 is placed in the middle of the passage 24 and serves as a continuation switch.
The ball detector 25 is, for example, a magnetic detector, and emits a predetermined signal when the ball a passes. Also, the first
A first winning ball passage 26 is communicated with the winning opening 7, and the tip of the passage 26 is defined as a first winning ball outlet 26'.
A ball detector 27 is placed in the middle of the first winning ball path 26 and serves as a starting switch. This ball detector 27
is the same as that used for the continuation switch above. The second winning hole 8, which is the general winning hole, has a second winning hole.
A winning ball passage 28 is made to communicate, and the tip of the passage 28 is made a second winning ball outlet 28'. A ball detector 29 is placed in the middle of the second winning ball path 28 and serves as a counting switch. This ball detector 29 is also similar to that used in the continuation switch.

In addition, in each winning ball passage 24, 26, 28, the ball a that entered the winning hole rolls under its own weight and passes through each exit 24', 28.
A slope or step is provided so that the liquid can be discharged from 26' and 28'.

The flat part of the mounting plate 2, i.e. in the illustrated embodiment,
Lamp display windows 30 and 31 are opened in the central part adjacent to the first winning hole 7 and the second winning hole 8 and in the lower part of the continuous winning hole 5, and this lamp display window 3
A translucent lens plate 32 that is colored or patterned is fitted onto the lenses 0 and 31. A light emitting body such as a lamp 34 attached to a lamp board 33 is exposed to the back surface of the lens plate 32. In the illustrated embodiment, the central lamp display window 31 is projected forward from the mounting plate 2, and the lower surface of the large oblique side portion 11 of the rotated blade 3 is located on the side of the lamp display window 31. They are starting to touch each other.

Although not shown, the front surface of the convex portion 6, the blades 3, 3 on both sides, and each ball receiving frame 9, 10 is covered with a transparent decorative board. In this way, the ball a flowing down the game board surface can be prevented from colliding with the glass, and the movement of the ball a and the shuttlecock 3 can be visually confirmed, and the lamp display can also be confirmed.

Next, the operation of the winning device 1 as described above will be explained based on a pachinko game.

Normally, the solenoid 4 is not activated or energized, so its plunger 15 is urged upward by the spring 18, and the vane 3 connected to the plunger 15 via the crank 21 is
It is located at the position shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, with the large hypotenuse portion 11 hanging down and the space between the ball receiving frame 9 and the convex portion 6 being open. Therefore, the ball a that flows down the game board surface and enters between the left and right ball receiving frames 9, 9 passes between the convex portion 6 and the ball receiving portions 9, 9, in other words, passes through the front of the lamp display window 30. and is discharged to the outlet. Therefore,
The probability that this flowing ball a enters the second winning hole 8 which is the general winning hole from the side is extremely low.

However, in this embodiment, when the ball a enters the first winning hole 7, the ball detector 27 detects the ball a passing through the first winning ball path 26 and issues a start signal. The solenoid 4 is set to operate via control means, not shown. Therefore, the plunger 15 slides downward against the spring 18, and the blade 3, which is linked to the plunger 15 through the crank 21, rotates downward about the shaft 3', as indicated by the solid line in FIG. It will be in the position shown. In this state, the tip 11' of the large oblique side part 11 is locked to the ball receiving frame 10, and the small oblique side part 12 faces the continuous winning opening 5. Therefore, the ball a that enters between the convex part 6 and the left and right ball receiving frames 9, 9 hits the blade 3 and enters the second prize opening 8 from the side along the large hypotenuse part 11, or enters the second winning hole 8 from the side along the large hypotenuse part 11, or enters the second winning hole 8 from the side along the large hypotenuse part 11. Either you win in the continuation prize opening 5 along the section 12. Therefore,
The winning probability of ball a becomes extremely high, bringing great profits to the player. The control means is set so that the rotating state of the blade 3 as described above is maintained for, for example, 30 seconds, and the operation of the solenoid 4 is released after 30 seconds. In addition, if a total of 10 balls a win in the second winning holes 8, 8, which are the left and right general winning holes, and the continuous winning hole 5, the operation of the solenoid 4 will be stopped even before 30 seconds have passed. The control means is set so that Detection of winning balls for this purpose is performed by a ball detector 29 provided in the middle of the second winning ball path 28 and a ball detector 25 provided in the middle of the continuous winning ball path 24.
Then, when the solenoid 4 is deactivated after a predetermined time has elapsed or a predetermined number of prizes have been won, the plunger 15 is slid upward by the spring 18, and the blade 3 linked to the plunger 15 is rotated downward to return to its original state. return to the state.

When the period from the start of rotation of the blade 3 to its return is defined as one cycle as described above, the number of balls that enter the central continuous winning hole 5 during the one cycle is detected by the ball detector 25, and The control means may be set to repeat the cycle a number of times corresponding to the number of winning balls after the cycle ends. Furthermore, if at least one or more balls enters the continuous winning slot 5 within the range of one cycle, the next cycle is repeated after this one cycle ends, and this cycle is repeated up to 10 times. The control means may be set to limit the The rotation of the blade 3 gives the player a chance of winning, brings about great profits, and can increase the interest of the pachinko game. Incidentally, each lamp display window 30, 31 is associated with the rotation of the blade 3, and for example, the central lamp display window 31 emits light continuously when the blade 3 rotates and the ball a is in a state where it is easy to win. In this way, the left and right lamp display windows 30, 30 are made to emit light every time the ball a wins a prize in the second winning hole 8. In this way, the player can check the current state using light, which makes the game even more interesting.

In the above explanation, the blade 3 is maintained in a rotating state for a certain period of time, but by rotating the blade 3 in a short period and repeating the rotation a certain number of times, it is possible to make it easier for the ball a to win a prize. It can also be set so that difficult states and difficult states appear alternately.

In addition, the starting conditions for the winning device 1 of the present invention may be set in relation to other games, for example, after the predetermined conditions of the other games are completed, winning the prize in the first winning hole 7 is set as the starting condition. Good too. Furthermore, the rotation time and number of rotations of the blade 3 may be changed depending on the completion state of other games.

<Effects of the invention> According to the invention, by means of a blade whose drive source is a solenoid rotatably supported on a mounting plate, it is possible to change the state in which it is easy for a ball to win a prize and the state in which it is difficult to win a prize, and It is possible to distinguish between mere general winnings and continuous winnings by the inclination of the feathers, and the interest in pachinko games is greatly increased.

Furthermore, since the prize winning device of the present invention has a three-dimensional structure, it does not become flat, giving variation to the game board and increasing the interest of players in terms of design.

Furthermore, since the winning ball path is formed by a solenoid mounting plate and a pair of blades are driven by a single solenoid provided integrally with the winning device, the winning device can be configured compactly and is easy to assemble. It is easy to attach, does not interfere with other parts, and has extremely high practical value.
